Kevin LoweSo maybe you already know what your life's purpose is.
Kevin Lowe
You know exactly why you're here, and you know exactly what you are meant to do.
Kevin Lowe
But the question I want to ask is, is what are you doing to be sure that you are living out that purpose?
Kevin Lowe
Yeah.
Kevin Lowe
What actions are you taking each and every day?
Kevin Lowe
What mindset do you wake up with?
Kevin Lowe
What are you doing to be sure that your life's purpose isn't just some idea, something that you put on the shelf, but rather its the guiding light guiding you throughout every single day of your life.
Kevin Lowe
If youre not sure of exactly what that is or what it even looks like or, heck, what im even talking about, well, then, my friend, today is exactly for you.
Kevin Lowe
I welcome you to episode 329.
Kevin Lowe
Yo.
Speaker B
Are you ready to flip the script on life?
Speaker B
Cause those bad days, theyre just doors to better days.
Speaker B
And thats exactly what we do here.
Speaker B
Here at grit, grace, and inspiration.
Speaker B
Your host, Kevin Lowe.
Speaker B
He's been flipping the script on his own life, turning over 20 years of being completely blind into straight up inspiration, motivation, and encouragement just for you.
Speaker B
So kick back, relax, and let me introduce you to your host, Kevin Lowe.
Kevin Lowe
Inside of today's episode, we're gonna build on what we talked about three episodes ago.
Kevin Lowe
That would have been episode 326, when we talked all about identifying your life's purpose, or also known as your reason why, the thing that guides you through life.
Kevin Lowe
But today, we're taking it to the next level and being sure that we're using that to your advantage.
Kevin Lowe
Because, as I said at the beginning, I don't just want your life's purpose to be something that you figure out and then you do nothing with, because, well, I kind of think that defeats the entire purpose of everything we're doing.
Kevin Lowe
Instead, today, we're going to figure out how we can harness it and how we can be sure that you're doing the work.
Kevin Lowe
You're putting in the actions, you're putting in the reps each and every day so that you're making the most of your life's purpose.
Kevin Lowe
The first step is alignment.
Kevin Lowe
Everything you do, everything you think, every action you take, it should be in alignment with your life's purpose.
Kevin Lowe
This isn't about making huge changes overnight, but rather just the small, everyday tasks you do, ultimately leading to the life that you want to live.
Kevin Lowe
Living out our life's purpose is to be sure that you are showing up as your best self and to be sure that you're living out the life that you want to live, that you are building a legacy that you want to be remembered for.
Kevin Lowe
So it's as easy as you taking the time to literally take a pause in your day, maybe right first thing in the morning and just ask yourself some simple questions.
Kevin Lowe
Is what I have planned out today in alignment with my purpose?
Kevin Lowe
Is the way I'm living reflecting what I truly value and what I want out of my life?
Kevin Lowe
And listen, if the answer is no, that's okay, because that's what this is all about.
Kevin Lowe
It's about realignment, getting back at alignment because it's so easy to veer off course, to get off line of whatever we're doing in life.
Kevin Lowe
Whether you're chasing a goal, chasing a dream, or trying to live out your purpose.
Kevin Lowe
It's easy to get distracted.
Kevin Lowe
It's easy to get caught up in this or that that has you, before you know it, headed off in a wrong direction and, oh, my gosh, it's time to put on the brakes, hit reverse and start all over.
Kevin Lowe
It's easy.
Kevin Lowe
And so I want you to realize that it's also easy to get back on track.
Kevin Lowe
You don't have to feel like, oh, my gosh, I.
Kevin Lowe
I fell off the horse.
Kevin Lowe
I'm too far gone.
Kevin Lowe
No, you're never too far gone.
Kevin Lowe
Today, right now is the best time for you to get back in alignment, to start living in alignment with what you believe in your heart you know in your head is right.
Kevin Lowe
And the whole thing here is that when you start living in alignment with your life's purpose, you will find that even the hardest days, they seem a little bit easier things in life, they'll have a little bit more meaning.
Kevin Lowe
You'll begin to look at the sunrise differently.
Kevin Lowe
You'll begin to look at the sunset differently.
Kevin Lowe
You'll start to notice the little things in life, the things that really and truly matter.
Kevin Lowe
That, my friend, is when you know you are living in alignment with your purpose and whatever that purpose is.
Kevin Lowe
Now, let's face it, the truth is, is that living out your life's purpose each and every day, it's not the easiest thing.
Kevin Lowe
There's going to be times in your life when it's going to be really hard.
Kevin Lowe
And to be honest, there's going to be days when you're tempted to give up, when you feel like it's too hard.
Kevin Lowe
You feel like the dreams you have, they're never going to come true anyways.
Kevin Lowe
So why do I continue making myself believe that they are my friend, don't get caught in that trap, because it's in these moments when staying connected with your life's purpose matter more than anything else.
Kevin Lowe
Again, sometimes it's as easy as hitting the pause button on life, being reminded of what matters, of where you're headed and getting your mindset back into that mode, into the attitude that anything and everything is possible.
Kevin Lowe
It doesn't mean that it's going to be easy.
Kevin Lowe
It doesn't mean that everything's always going to work out.
Kevin Lowe
Well, let me rephrase that.
Kevin Lowe
I believe everything does work out.
Kevin Lowe
Now.
Kevin Lowe
Does everything always work out the way that we think?
Kevin Lowe
In the way that we dream?
Kevin Lowe
No.
Kevin Lowe
But I've come to actually understand in my life that it actually works out in a way more beautiful and amazing than we ever could have thought.
Kevin Lowe
It doesn't mean that it's easy, doesn't mean that it matches our dreams and our expectations.
Kevin Lowe
Rarely ever does it.
Kevin Lowe
But instead it does come out to be beautiful if you are being sure that you are showing up to the world as the best version of you.
Kevin Lowe
And of course that comes by you being sure that you are living out your purpose now in the midst of the chaos and busyness of the life.
Kevin Lowe
Some tips to be sure that you are staying true to your purpose.
Kevin Lowe
Our training creates some habits, some rituals, things around that purpose, things that get you plugged in with it in the midst of life.
Kevin Lowe
Maybe it's journaling, maybe it's meditating, maybe it's just going for a walk.
Kevin Lowe
Something that clears your mind, that puts you in a happy place and gives you an opportunity to just reconnect with who you are and what you're all about and what you want.
Kevin Lowe
And that way it makes it a little bit easier to show up as your best self, as your true, authentic self.
Kevin Lowe
Whatever it is that works for you, to help you reconnect with the important stuff, your reason why.
Kevin Lowe
Whatever it is, I encourage you to make it a non negotiable.
Kevin Lowe
It's something that you have to do each and every day.
Kevin Lowe
For myself, I can tell you it's prayer.
Kevin Lowe
Prayer is an opportunity for me to connect with my creator, to connect with goddess, connect with Jesus Christ.
Kevin Lowe
Of course, no one knows my purpose better than my creator.
Kevin Lowe
And there's no better time for me to get to pour out my heart, to pour out the good stuff, the stuff I'm scared about, the stuff I'm struggling with.
Kevin Lowe
Then during prayer, now for you again, it may be different.
Kevin Lowe
It could be journaling in your notebook, it could be doing a little bit of meditation.
Kevin Lowe
It could be out walking in the park, listening to the sound of the birds, viewing the beautiful sky with the puffy white clouds.
Kevin Lowe
Whatever it is, you do it.
Kevin Lowe
And you do it every day.
Kevin Lowe
Because this is a little piece of the day that is meant just for you, you and your lifes purpose.
Kevin Lowe
Now, of course, theres a reason why all of this even matters in the first place.
Kevin Lowe
Why identifying our life's purpose matters, why being sure that we are living it out each and every day.
Kevin Lowe
Because so far you might be thinking, man, Tef sure makes this whole thing of living in our purpose seem a little bit difficult.
Kevin Lowe
Like it really takes a lot of effort.
Kevin Lowe
And I'm here to say that honestly it doesn't.
Kevin Lowe
Because what you're doing here is something that you love, that's a part of you, that aligns with who you are and what your hopes and dreams are.
Kevin Lowe
And when you figure it out, I promise you that it will all come together.
Kevin Lowe
But of course, what is the reason for it all when you are driven in life by something deeper and more meaningful than these external forces, whether it's a gold medal, the letter a written on your report, Cardinal whatever it is, whatever you can think of, when you're driven by something more than that, it makes life a little bit more important.
Kevin Lowe
You show up to life a little bit more excited.
Kevin Lowe
You're not chasing some external thing.
Kevin Lowe
No, you're literally just living within your own purpose, your own reason why you're meant to be here, why you're meant to show up every day.
Kevin Lowe
It gives you a resiliency you never even knew existed before.
Kevin Lowe
It makes you literally unstoppable.
Kevin Lowe
And just think about it in terms of the challenges we face in life.
Kevin Lowe
When you have your purpose on your side, no longer do you view challenges as mere challenges, but rather you begin to see the opportunities hidden within them.
Kevin Lowe
You spend every day growing, learning, becoming a bigger and better version of you.
Kevin Lowe
If were not growing each and every day, then what are we doing?
Kevin Lowe
I guess were just slowly dying.
Kevin Lowe
No, we dont want that.
Kevin Lowe
We want to continue to be growing, expanding our mind, expanding our dreams.
Kevin Lowe
Never stop dreaming, my friend.
Kevin Lowe
If you thought dreaming was for children, no way.
Kevin Lowe
Dreaming is for everybody.
Kevin Lowe
Because dreams are the things that guide us in life.
Kevin Lowe
Dreams are the things that give our purpose even more meaning.
Kevin Lowe
Because it gives us something to be chasing, to have something to be excited about.
Kevin Lowe
And with that, I mean, what else is there for me to say?
Kevin Lowe
I guess I said a lot over this episode and over episode 326 all about life's purpose.
Kevin Lowe
But I say it because I believe in it.
Kevin Lowe
I say it because I want it for you.
Kevin Lowe
Because the sooner that you can figure out your life's purpose, the sooner that you can start being sure that you're living out that purpose, it's going to mean something more to you.
Kevin Lowe
It's going to make your life better.
Kevin Lowe
It's going to make tomorrow a little bit better than today.
Kevin Lowe
You're going to get to show up as your best self.
Kevin Lowe
You're going to be able to look at life from a different view.
Kevin Lowe
And that's what I want for you.
Kevin Lowe
If you have any questions about anything that we've talked about today or in any of the past episodes, I don't know if you've realized or not, but inside of every episode's show notes, there's a link for you to send me a voice message.
Kevin Lowe
Yeah, it's super easy.
Kevin Lowe
You click the link, then literally click to record, and that comes straight to me.

Kevin Lowe
No, just send me a question, send me a comment.
Kevin Lowe

Kevin Lowe
And I would love to be able to help you however I can.
Kevin Lowe

Kevin Lowe
And my friend, and until next time, my friend, I want you to be sure that whatever you do today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, that it's done for you.
Kevin Lowe
That you love what you do and you do what you love.
Kevin Lowe
That you be sure that you know your life's purpose.
Kevin Lowe
And you be sure that you're living out that purpose each and every day.
Kevin Lowe
My name, of course, is Kevin Lowe.
Kevin Lowe
